Business outlook
Pros
Prestige, experience, exposure - Morgan Stanley provides accessibility to a broad array of finance jobs in all sectors & regions, with the flexibility to move internally - Very talented individuals work here and the learning curve is steep - Very meritocratic in terms of promotions and opposrtunities (at least in the junior levels)
Cons
Long hours, high pressure - Expect to work 70+ hours a week, and for that to be considered the norm - There is pressure to produce high quality work in short deadlines, saying "no" to work is not really an option, even if swamped on other projects
